Darling Ingredients issued a statement ahead of its full Q3 2026 results disclosing that its 50/50 Diamond Green Diesel joint venture with Valero earned $340.9 million in net income for the quarter, a sharp swing from an $80.6 million loss a year ago. DGD shipped 314.9 million gallons in Q3 at $1.30 Adjusted EBITDA per gallon, and results were helped by favorable LCM inventory adjustments versus prior-year charges. CEO Randall Stuewe said timing differences in renewable diesel sales should benefit Q4, and the company guided to FY2026 Combined Adjusted EBITDA of $2.2-$2.3 billion with momentum expected into 2027. Darling's 50% share of DGD Q3 Adjusted EBITDA was about $204 million.
